Static Website Hosting (CTSC)
Not every website needs a complex database or a heavy backend. The Static Website Hosting service, provided by Client Technology and Solutions Consulting, is built for sites generated via HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. By removing the server-side complexity, we provide a hosting solution that is secure, cost-effective, loads instantly for users across the globe and meets Stanford's minimum web requirements.
Why choose static hosting?
- Lightning-fast load times: Your site is delivered via a global Content Delivery Network (CDN), serving content from the server closest to each visitor.
- Enhanced security: With no database or server-side plugins, common attack surfaces are eliminated, making the site secure by design.
- Fully managed infrastructure: We handle cloud architecture, SSL certificates (HTTPS), and scaling. You focus only on content.
- High availability: Cloud-native delivery ensures your site stays online even during traffic spikes, without manual intervention.
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Custom domain support | We link name-compliant site to a standard .stanford.edu or custom URL |
| Automated SSL | Every site is encrypted with HTTPS by default for data privacy |
| Continuous deployment | Optional integration with Cardinal Cloud GitHub or GitLab enables automatic updates when you push code |
| Global CDN | Images and assets load quickly for users anywhere in the world |

You provide the code; we provide the platform. No servers to manage, no security patches to install, and no downtime to worry about.
